Hi Guys!
I hope that you all are having a FANTASTIC Christmas and I wish you all a happy holiday. I discovered this online the other day and I thought that it would be super fun to track Santa together! Comment down below what country you are from and what time it is and we can all anticipate the big guy's arrival together!!

1. Every year, on Christmas Eve, my entire family on my dad's side goes on a late night hike. We hike to the top of a nearby hill and look at the stars if it's a clear day, or build a snowman if it's cloudy.

2. My young women's group always has a special Christmas meeting on the Sunday before Christmas. My leaders bring a little brunch for us and it's so much fun to enjoy everyone's presence.

Please share in the comments some of your Christmas traditions. I would love to hear! :) <3/ Audrey

Today I bring you a little list I compiled of some of my favorite Christmas jokes and quotes. (hence, the title, jokes n' quotes) I hope that some of these put a smile on your face and I hope that some of these help you to remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Dad replied with a glint in his eye, 'Maybe you're right. In that case I'll take two.'

The Santa Claus at the shopping mall was very surprised when a Emily, young lady aged about 20 years old walked up and sat on his lap. Now, we all know that Santa doesn't usually take requests from adults, but she smiled very nicely at him, so he asked her, 'What do you want for Christmas?'

'Something for my mother, please,' replied Emily sweetly.

'Something for your mother? Well, that's very loving and thoughtful of you,' smiled Santa. 'What do would you like me to bring her?'

Without turning a hair Emily answered quickly, 'A son-in-law.'

It was just before Christmas and the magistrate was in a happy mood. He asked the prisoner who was in the dock, 'What are you charged with?' The prisoner replied, 'Doing my Christmas shopping too early.' 'That's no crime', said the magistrate. 'Just how early were you doing this shopping? 'Before the shop opened', answered the prisoner.

“Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!” ― Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

“And in despair I bowed my head;

"There is no peace on earth," I said;

"For hate is strong, And mocks the song Of peace on earth, good-will to men!" Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth he sleep! The Wrong shall fail, the Right prevail, With peace on earth, good-will to men!” ― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ”

“When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things - not the great occasions - give off the greatest glow of happiness.”

“Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides ourselves.”

“And how did little Tim behave?” asked Mrs Cratchit, when she had rallied Bob on his credulity and Bob had hugged his daughter to his heart’s content. “As good as gold,” said Bob, “and better. Somehow he gets thoughtful, sitting by himself so much, and thinks the strangest things you ever heard. He told me, coming home, that he hoped the people saw him in the church, because he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant to them to remember upon Christmas Day, who made lame beggars walk, and blind men see.” ― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

Hey guys!!
This past week has been insane and I've been having all sorts of computer problems. Due to this, I was unable to post several Blogmas posts and I sincerely apologize for that. Oh my goodness, I sound like a radio advertisement!! :) Sorry! Anyways, since I have missed like five of them, I will not be trying to catch up. Instead, I will continue posting every day until Christmas.
Hope that everyone is having an awesome day!

Hi Guys!
Do you ever find yourself at the store, looking for a present, but have no idea what to get? If this happens often, then this guide will be perfect for you AND everything is under twenty dollars which is a pretty good price range for anybody you may be getting something for. Keep in mind that the prices on these items may change in the next couple of weeks so if you are reading this post quite a while after I posted it, the prices might be different on the linked website. Hope you enjoy!!!
